Thoughts on The FCC and FEC

Scott at POV has several interesting posts today. First, guest blogging is his girlfriend with a take about the FCC:

The Government and the FCC are quickly taking away our first amendment right by imposing outrageous penalties on broadcast content that they deem indecent. This website (see sidebar link: Save Radio Now) offers a full outline of the ridiculous laws and fine structures as well as ways that we can continue to have the right to choose for ourselves the kind of content we wish to expose ourselves to. It is my opinion that the content on the blogospere is the next to be regulated therefore we can protect this great editorial community by stopping the FCC NOW.

Amen. There's also this post considering the FEC:

The FEC's issue with "public communication" via the internet is that if said communication is paid for then the communication may violate political financial contribution guidelines that have been previously devised. Furthermore, the FEC is concerned that said "public communications" written or read using corporate computing resources may constitute further violations of the FEC's rules governing corporate donations.

Polipundit is all over this story too.
